Also, do not go for round laces as they are bulky and are quite tough to hide. Besides this, you would also have to make sure that the color of the laces and the color of your dress are not different.

Wear a Layer of Cloth

As you may already know, the cells under our skin produce a kind of oil which is also known as sebum. This oil helps to moisturize our skin, which makes it quite beneficial and important. But, even though this oil is beneficial for us, it is quite harmful to your corset.

If the laces of your corset are too tight, then you may experience various problems such as breathing problem or pain around the abdominal area. The corset may also get damaged in the process of tightening.

Like any other inner garment, your corset also needs to feel cozy and comfortable. Thus, you should always try to tighten the laces slowly and gradually.

After tightening it once, you should always give your body at least an hour to adjust with the pressure that the corset is providing. Don't do it right away, otherwise, the constant pressure of the corset may cause suffocation. Thus, if you think that the corset is feeling easy and comfortable, try to tighten it again.
